T0 ALL WHOM IT,MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I, WHLIAM W. BALLARD, of Davsbur'g, in the county of Oakland, and in the State of Michigan, have invented cert-ein new and useful mprovements in Land-Rollers; and do hereby .declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the ennexeddrawings, and to the letters ofvreference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

In the annexed drawings A represents un oblong or other suitable-shaped frame, having a tongue, B, and seat D. C C C C represent a series of small rollers, which are secured under the frame by means of the adjustahie bars H. These bars H ere'connected under theforward part of the frame A between small ear-plates a, and extend. 'from thence obliquely' to the centre of the rollers C, where' they are bulged inwards to connect to sai-.i rollers and connectedlwth the axles. These bars then form a curve, and project upwards through small openings in the rear part-of the frame. :n and x represent small projections or lugs on each ofthe bars H, one above the frame A, und the other below it, for allowing said frame to rest upon, and to prevent the bars from slippingoutv of their openings. Rollers connected to the frame by these bars will at all times adjust themselves to suit the irregularity of the earth.

What I claim, is-

Arranging of series of' rollers C C to the frame A, by means of the bars H, constructed as set forth und for the purposes described.

In testimony thatI claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this irs't day of August, 1867.

WM. W. BALLARD.
